Another year has passed in Russia, and I will be leaving for home to Malaysia this Thursday. So... one... two.. three... *heaves a sigh of relief*. I can't wait to go home... into the crazy heat and lounge by the pool in our garden. I can't wait to hang out with my crazy sisters again. And I can't wait to see SJH again.

You guys do remember SJH, don't you?

Yep, folks. Don't know if I've mentioned it, but SJH is coming to Malaysia. He'll be arriving at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) three hours before me. This is great, because not only am I going home, but SJH will be there to greet me at the airport... and then the two of us will be greeted by my parents. We're both a bit nervous about the whole "meet the parents" thing. I hope everything goes well, and that SJH will have a good holiday this summer. He'll be in Malaysia for about 3 and a half weeks. We've made plans to hit all sort of hotspots in Kuala Lumpur, and that includes the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC), Central Market (for the artsy fartsy types), Masjid India (aka Little India), Chinatown, Petaling Street, a few hotzones such as IT City and IMBI Plaza to check out computer hardwares, the malls for movies, music fests such as the annual Rock The World Concert, local gigs, National Museum and perhaps the Islamic Museum. I'm planning to let SJH try out as many local cuisines as possible (Malaysia is also known as a cool eating destination), and perhaps even the durian, if he dares! Thinking of taking him to go clubbing, but no sure about how will that go, since I don't know if my friend will be back in KL (her bf knows most of the club-runners, so clubbing with them means the red-carpet treatment). Clubbing scene here is a lot better than in Russia, imho; none of those ridiculous bad techno music. So, looking forward to it.

Plus, we've also planned to go for seaside holidays and we're listing up places such as Penang, Langkawi and Tioman Island as possible beach destination. We haven't made up our minds yet. Other than that, we're planning to hit Malacca purely for a historical tour and maybe take a train down to Singapore. We thought of going to Thailand, but it seems that SJH may require a visa application, so I guess that's out.

I'm so excited! I hope SJH will get properly tanned. I hope that most of our plans will pan out.

That sounds wonderful! Have a great summer at home with your family and SJH! Have you finished your studies for good now?

[saucyminx]

No. Just for the year. I'm thinking of transferring out of Russia, but I am having a slight problem with the dean's office regarding that.

[Jelena]

From what you've told us about the roomies transferring sound like a good idea. What about the school, is it what you expected? Where would you finish your studies if/when it works out? A wild guess would be.....England perhaps!

[saucyminx]

Here's a little preview of what SJH will be getting:


Tioman Island


Penang



Malacca


The Historical A Famosa in Malacca



Petaling Street







Kuala Lumpur


Putrajaya

If I can't get into UK, the EU would be a good choice.

Man, I'm so fricking jealous. Those photos bring back a lot of memories, especially Tioman and Jalan Petaling (where I was completely lost trying to find my mates ) Hope you both have a great time, and he gets rid of the Brit paleness (it took me about 2 months of Asia to get a deep tan but he might get lucky!)

I wish I was SJH right now.

Next time you come to Malaysia, let me know. We can go lepak together (I hope the time you spent in Malaysia was adequate enough for you to learn what "lepak" means).

I've got no idea what lepaking is sadly, must've missed out on that one. Is it dirty?

[saucyminx]

LOL!

"Lepak" means "to hang out". How long were you in Malaysia? I hope you know what "makan" means (makan = to eat).

Oh I did lots of makanning over there! I love asian food so much (apart from Thai).

I was in Malaysia just under a month, spent a week in KL, week in Tioman and dodged around for the rest of it (Taman Negara, Penang and some other island in the NE that I can't remember the name of). When we were over there we learned how to say 'hi', 'thank you' etc. but I can't remember much of it anymore.

[saucyminx]

Hahah

Guess you must have learnt "selamat sejahtera" (formal hello) or "apa khabar" (how are you?) and definitely "terima kasih" (thank you).

Do you have pictures from your trip?

[seebaruk]

Loads of pictures. I'll post some up when I'm on here back home if you want. I try not to look at them too much cos they just make me wanna quit my job and go travelling again

[Melanie68]

Yaaayyyy!!!

Have a great time at home. You deserve it!

[lumi]

I guess I don't pay enough attention here, because I thought Russia was your home, not just your place of study.

[Intrepid Homoludens]

Enjoy your summer, babe. And kick squaresie's pasty white ass for me for not hanging out here at AG anymore, not thanking me for the postcard I sent him, and not following up with us on his recovery from his illness. I'm hurt.

[Lucien21]

Have a great time.

[RLacey]

Have fun .

[Intrepid Homoludens]

Saucy, PM me your address in Malaysia so I can send you a tacky L.A. postcard. I have one and was gonna send it to Moscow but too late now.
